Hello All, i had a nice conversation with UnrealCreative after i ranted about an accountability partner (Meetup - Accountability Partner). He suggested an open progress thread on my TMF journey. He also pointed me to Notable! - Manufacturing a FTE (F*ck This Event!) as i have found that my comfort zone is stopping some hard driving action. I don't NEED a better life but sure want something better than the slow lane. Hopefully this will help me & provide some incentive for others to take action.
so, here goes:
goals: own a cash flowing mobile home park by the end of this August. Have a profitable eBay drop ship store with $5k per month profit. Ditto Shopify with my online goals reached by the end of this year.
Starting not that long ago (i'm old but new to this) I purchased an Ebay course on Udemy. The author is David Vu. No links because that's a no no, but you will find it easy enough. Followed that course to the letter and over the last few months have gross sales just shy of $4k (total gross, not monthly net). Need to max my listings but this is looking good (who knew that R2-D2 mini fridges were so popular over in England?).
I have a couple issues on Shopify but should be up by the middle-ish of August.
MHP's. I have a nice list of private lenders lined up for any deal that cashflows (massive amounts of phone calls for this...massive! I actually took a weeks vacation to cold call till I found them...and am kinda proud of this...patting my own back right now). Currently getting ready to submit 4 LOI's. I have some experience here as my comfort zone/slow lane job is in construction wholesale where i deal with property managers daily (including MHP) and have been for the last 20+ years. I learned lots of the ins/outs of the problems they face and am ready, i think, to own a few of these suckers. I have whittled down about 2 dozen properties to the best cash flowing ones (with increasing population in the area) and am pulling the trigger...and am scared shit-less. But i'm jumping and will pick up the pieces at the bottom.
I WILL BE adding success stories as i proceed. Anyone have questions (or better yet ideas for me to use) please pony up. Some open/honest/striving/freaking-out and learning from it for the world to see.
Oh good golly, what have i just done?
